We could do both. :-) It might add more robustness to cfengine if
unsatisfied dependencies were preserved between runs. What if the
cfengine run is cut short before it completes all the necessary
passes? I don't think that we can assume that cfagent will be able to
complete all of it's tasks before being cut short by an admin running
"/etc/init.d/cfengine stop" or some timeout causing aborts.
